1. For VCS, the following cutover procedure need to be followed:
a. When ready for cutover first stop all application traffic from all cluster nodes
b. Wait for migration to reach 100% (This step can be eliminated once the issue is fixed in a future release)
c. Shutdown VCS
d. Click “Finish” in DMM GUI
e. Once complete change zoning and cutover to NS (Follow the general procedure from this step)

FC-IP SAN Extension
The Cisco MDS 9250i switch, the MSM-18/4, and SSN-16 modules support Auto, Mode1 and Mode2
compression modes. All of these modes internally use the hardware compression engine of the module.
By default, Auto mode is enabled. Mode2 uses a larger batch size for compression than Auto mode,
which results in higher compression throughput. However, Mode2 incurs a small latency because of the
compression throughput. For the deployments where aggressive throughput is most important, Mode2
should be used. Mode1 gives the better compression ratio when compared to all other modes. For the
deployments where compression ratio is most important, Mode1 should be used. Auto mode is similar
to Mode2 with respect to the algorithm used for compression except that the batching is not done in Auto
mode.
